Author and journalist Jeannette Walls discusses her riveting memoir "The Glass Castle".

In "The Glass Castle", Walls describes growing up in the desert of the American Southwest and then in a West Virginia mining town with her three siblings and the brilliant, unorthodox, irresponsible parents who manage at once to neglect them, love them, and teach them to face their fears.
